I have a hp pavilion with
Amd a10 cpu
r5 330 gpu
8 gb ddr3 ram
Stock power supply
1tb hard drive
I want to play like forza horizon 4 and gta 5 on the best setting it can go to 1080p and I want your help because I don’t know what to upgrade to get this performance with 200€ Budget
 
Solution
IF you have an A10-8750......I wouldn't go any higher than a GTX 1060....and that might be stretching it a little. I think a GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti would work great.
The 1050 and 1050 Ti get all the power from the slot....and it's 75 watts max.
The 1060 needs a plug from the power supply and it's 120 watts.
.....so you may need a new power supply.
Any of those three GPUs are way faster than the r5 330.
Which AMD A10 and what motherboard do you have?
Also, please post the model and wattage of your power supply.
I dont remember Very good but the supply will change 100% , I think it was a10 8750 ,the motherboard is The stock one and I can remember it wasn’t very good and the model was only for Greece with this spec and I don’t remember 100% if it was 550-110

I don’t have it plugged to see 100% the specs

Thanks for the reply first of all
I will put like a 750 power supply 80 plus gold and I was thinking of the 1650 to keep them because I would rebuilt it all in the summer what you think of this gpu and will I have any problem putting this big power supply in this small system
 
Wattage wise.....you can never have "too big".
Size wise.....you can.
As long as it physically will fit it should work.....as there is no such thing as too much wattage.
....and I think the GTX 1650 will also work well with the A10-7850.
DO you have any other idea of a power supply that is good for my system but I will use it with a better built with Ryzen and like a medium range pc with 800€?
 
I think that any Seasonic is a good power supply.
I think that the new Corsairs are also good.
I have recently purchased two Corsair RMx series units.
They are 750 and 1000 watts. Both have been running fine for a while now.
OK but I won’t have any problem with a 750 in this small system because I didn’t understand 100% what you told me before
 
Being that is an HP Pavilion (which I didn't notice before).....I think it has a proprietary supply.....so you may have a hard time finding an upgrade.
It may be best to try and stick with a GTX 1050 or 1050Ti.
I had search it before and all I had found is a power supply with a fun looking down on the motherboard but because the stock doesn’t have fun I think that it will heat more or I am wrong ?

And I am thinking of putting one more fun to take the air outside in front of the motherboard or just don’t put the panel
